first: i suggest you look for an old english translator, then post or pm me what you make of it

here`s another:

 

a car is moving along and stops, the driver picks up some money and carries on.

a short while later the car stops again after passing a dog and gives some money away.

I understand middle english, I don't need to translate it. I do need a hint though, as do the others who asked for one :P

by posting this, I`m giving you a clue :)

 

Thanks YT, that is very helpful, please give us another hint.

 

BTW in Budul's riddle there are a lot of Old English words but also a bunch of modern words---like it was made up by a modernEnglish speaker who knows some oldEnglish

 

"edwit" means SCORN, or SHAME

you and I are now providing a better hint!

 

awww the poor OP :(
